Installing FC4 via external USB

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All,

I'm trying to install FC4 (x64) from an external USB DVD device. For reasons that are too long to explain, an internal IDE device is not an option. It has to be external USB for the installation.

I'm able to boot the FC4 installer without any problems. I see that the installer automatically loads the usb-storage driver. I choose my language, my keyboard map and then I'm prompted to tell Fedora where the installation media is located. Here, I choose "Local CDROM". At this point, the installer no longer recognizes that there's a USB DVD device attached.

The installer then prompts me to choose a driver from the list or to provide my own driver disk. Nothing in the list is appropriate, and I'm not sure that I need to give the installer a driver that it's already loaded (usb-storage).

Is it possible to install FC4 from an external DVD? Have I done something incorrectly, or have I missed a step?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Derrich
